Hi guys, question on medical power of attorney. Can medical power of attorney be revoked if the patient is mentally incompetent? The following usmlerx question says YES, but FA 2016 says "can be revoked by patient IF DECISION MAKING CAPACITY IS INTACT"
To me, decision making capacity more or less equals mental competence??? Thanks!
